Same for fruit juice but many people don’t know and think it’s healthy. Try eating 10 oranges. If you succeed, you’ve eaten a giant dose of fiber etc with it, so it’s still not nearly as bad.
Too many do not. “American cheese” is not cheese imo; mature cheddar doesn’t melt as well maybe, but the sharpness brings a lot more to the table. Especially with a hot mustard in the mix.
For the sake of the healthy argument it’s kinda irrelevant though. American cheese is cheddar with water, and then they use a chemical to bind the cheddar to the water. That makes it melt faster because it’s already more watery than cheddar.
Afaik water is not unhealthy so American cheese is really not more unhealthy than cheddar.
If you make it with good cheese I’m open to it. The stuff you buy in stores tastes nothing like cheddar to me, but I’ve seen internet chefs make their own.
Here’s a short reminder that the WHO recommends limiting the daily intake of sugars to 10% of your calorie supply (approx. 50g sugar/day for me) for beneficial health effects.
Limiting intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet. A further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is suggested for additional health benefits (7).
Orange juice where i live has 10g sugars in 100ml of juice, so if you drink 1 L of it, you already take in 100g of sugars all in one go.
It’s a lot, actually. It has about the same amount of sugar as soda, quite unhealthy and IMO quite obvious while you’re drinking it. I definitely notice when I ingest that much sugar.
If you were to juice the oranges yourself, that would be about 12 oranges, depending on size.
Also, dedicated juice glasses are often way smaller than regular water glasses, nevermind pint glasses.
People keep blaming the burger and completely ignore the big gulp soda consisting mostly of high fructose corn syrup that people usually have with it.
212g of sugar in a 2L bottle of coke (Coca Cola states 10.6g per 100ml). One teaspoon is roughly 4g of sugar.
53 teaspoons of sugar in that bottle.
Interesting.

Not to speak of the sugar added to most fruit juice.
That’s mind-boggling to me. I know why (it’s cheap), but still.
Are you sure? Where I live fruit juice is a protected term and means pure fruit juice. Otherwise it might be called nectar etc
EU
Ha! That’s definitely not true in the US, at least not on packaging I’ve seen.
It’s a great idea though.

Who doesn’t use real cheese? I put real cheese on my homemade burgers…

Second thoughts reminding me - the emulsifiers aren’t great for you unless taken sparingly.

Pepper Jack wins no diff
I love pepper jack but I haven’t seen it in years. England ain’t about it for some reason.
That’s unfortunate

Implying 1l of orange juice is not a lot, or at least doesn’t feel like a lot?
it’s like, 3 glasses? maybe 2 if they’re tall ones? i don’t think 3 glasses of OJ is that much
